The nurse assesses the nutritional health of a 65-year-old male client. Based on the client’s developmental status, which of the following questions is the most appropriate to ask?
  1. “Is there someone who prepares and cooks your meals?”
  2. “Do you wear dentures?”
  3. “How many servings of fruits and vegetables do you consume daily?”
  4. “Do you have any food allergies?”
Explanation
Answer: B - The nurse should assess the client’s dentures. Poorly fitted dentures can make it difficult for the client to chew his food, resulting in decreased nutritional intake and increased risk for nutritional deficiencies. The other questions should also be asked as part of the assessment.
